Infinity Train is really good if you haven't watched it. Very short episodes too. Probably my favorite piece of animation in the last 10 years.

Edward Snowden (or Eddy Snow) had to leave the USA and go into hiding after leaking classified information about global surveillance programs run by the NSA and other intelligence agencies[1][2]. He initially flew to Hong Kong and later traveled to Moscow, where he sought asylum in various countries but was eventually granted temporary asylum in Russia[3][4]. Snowden is currently living in Russia, where he supports himself through speaking fees, earning income from public speaking engagements about cybersecurity and surveillance[3][4]. He has stated that he does not receive any financial support from the Russian government and lives independently[3][4]. Snowden's actions as a whistleblower led to changes in laws governing intelligence agencies and technology companies regarding privacy and security standards[3].

He's mostly being paid in something that has potential value that he won't be allowed to sell in large enough quantities to have any real value.

War is such a stupid waste of resources. Few people at the top reap the rewards whole everyone else pays the cost.

I think if you oversee a company valued at 5 billion and render it unable to support even a website, you should have your assets seized and be forbidden from a management position ever again.

But these guys will get even richer and find a new host to feed off of in a month

If you want accurate history photos then I think you should ask a real artist to make you the picture and not the mindless machine we've only recently tricked into drawing

Always telling when you see people online with a huge problem when AI generators aren't racist or attempt to avoid racism.

It's almost like they see racism in technology as a sort of affirmation.
